Lifeverse for The Sparrow Fund {Giveaway}

5.13.13

I’ve loved having Julie from Lifeverse partner with us. Rather than have me wax poetic about her heart for the fatherless, I’m going to give her the stage…

I have had a heart for adoption since watching 20/20 or Dateline news shows as a teenager. I remember one in particular where a photographer did black & white portraits of orphans & I thought, if I see one more photo of a beautiful child, I may scoop them all up.

We are still trying to figure out what my heart for adoption means for our own family, but in the meantime, it has been my joy to help support those adopting through my gift of art.

The above art is traveling to Africa on Monday. My friend & her hubby are off to bring their son home and she asked me to create a piece for the orphanage director. She went on to explain how so many children die while waiting to be placed into a home & how truly they are the forgotten ones. But those dear & selfless orphanage directors who selflessly love & care for those children do not forget.

So, this memorial is to write the names of those children who have passed away in their arms so they will not be forgotten. The other heart breaking thing is that she requested the piece be large and yet has to fit in a suitcase. Friends, there are that many children.

Orphanage lifeverse

As with the other 50ish partners, Julie is giving 10% of all her sales this May to The Sparrow Fund to support adoptive families. And, to draw a few more folks in and share this fundraiser with more folks, she’s offering an 8×10 print here as a giveaway, winner’s choice.

So, go ahead and enter to win it. And, go check out all the partners’ sites. (If you leave a comment naming just one thing you have ordered/purchased from one of them, you get an extra 10 entries for any of the giveaways going on right now…and there are quite a few!)

    Just one?! I’d have to flip a coin to pick between the Delight (Psalm 37) and the Dog Lover Quote. I know it probable sounds ridiculous, but my dogs got me through so much on our long journey to parenthood. They’re my little furry sweethearts!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
